Ten percent of teh bottle's proceeds go to water.org.
The bottles are available online at SHFT.
Stonyfield Farm, a long recognized leader in more sustainable packaging announced that all of their multipack yogurts are now packaged in packaging made from 93% PLA, a plant-based material made from corn.
The company said as of October 2010 all of its mulitpacks in retail stores are the in the new PLA packaging.
The new PLA packaging replaces multipack packaging made from #6 polystyrene.
Stonyfield is working on converting the lids to a more sustainable material as well. The lids on the new mulitpacks are made from a metalized PET plastic.
The company has purposely chosen not to mark their new packaging with the standard #7 "other" indicator so it is not confused with other types of plastics that also fall into that category and may leach BPA and other toxins.
Instead Stonyfield has labelled the bottom of its individual yogurt cups with the phrase "This Cup is Made from Plants."
An update to our last post. I received an email from eBay Green Team late last week with link to sign up for the new eBay green boxes program. The email said the offer was for the first 250 Green Team members who responded.
When you sign up for the boxes you have choice of one of three different sized boxes. The boxes will ship in November according to the email from eBay.
